Energy / Oil and Gas Industry

As awareness of the world's energy situation continues to grow and recent economic instability remind us of the volatility of energy interruption, the Oil and Gas industry has become an bellwether of general economic stability around the globe. International economies and stock markets rise and fall when world events or geopolitics shake the perception of energy supply.

Risks accompany the very nature of oil and gas operations from offshore exploration in unsteady, high risk environments with geopolitical implications to product transportation on the high seas and the threat of piracy; from executing countermeasures to thwart commercial intelligence efforts by the competition to protecting domestic manufacturing facilities and maintaining CFATS / MTSA compliance.
